The Hawks’ frontcourt depth took an early hit when rookie center Henri Veesaar tore the ACL in his right knee during a workout last week. The 7-footer is expected to miss the entire season.
Rookie season put on hold
- Veesaar injured his right knee while working out last week.
- Testing confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
- The injury is expected to keep the Hawks rookie out for the season.
The loss removes a developmental big man from Atlanta’s rotation before Veesaar could begin his rookie campaign. The 7-footer will now face a lengthy rehabilitation process following the right-knee injury.
